The Last Resort
She came from Providence
- She came from Providence
- The one in Rhode Island
- Where the old world shadows hang
- Heavy in the air
- She packed her hopes and dreams
- Like a refugee
- Just as her father came across the sea
- She heard about a place people were smiling
- They spoke about the red man's way
- And how they loved the land
- They came from everywhere
- To the great divide
- Seeking a place to stand
- Or a place to hide
- Down in the crowded bars
- Out for a good time
- Can't wait to tell you all
- What it's like up there
- Sandy called it paradise
- I don't know why
- Somebody laid the mountains low
- While the town got high
- Then the chilly winds blew down
- Across the desert
- Through the canyons of the coast
- To the Malibu
- Where the pretty people play
- Hungry for power
- To light their neon way
- Give them things to do
- Some rich men came and raped the land
- Nobody caught them
- Put up a bunch of ugly boxes
- Jesus people bought them
- They called it paradise
- The place to be
- They watched the hazy sun sinking in the sea
- You can leave it all behind
- And sail to Lahaina
- Just like the missionaries did so many years ago
- They even brought a neon sign said Jesus is coming
- Brought the white man's burden down
- Brought the white man's reign
- Who will provide the grand design
- What is yours and what is mine
- Because there is no more new frontier
- We have got to make it here
- We satisfy our endless needs and
- Justify our bloody deeds
- In the name of destiny
- In the name of God
- And you can see them there
- On Sunday morning
- Stand up and sing about
- What it's like up there
- They call it paradise
- I don't know
- I don't know why
- You call someplace paradise
- Kiss it goodbye
